How to choose

Registration only shows a provider has declared this specialism to the regulator. It says nothing about staff experience, so ask: how many people with similar needs do you support now? What training do your carers get? Will we see the same few faces? What happens when someone becomes upset or says no? Finally, read the inspection report in full.

Also ask:

  • How do you support work, education, hobbies and relationships?
  • How do you reduce restrictive practices?
  • How do you support communication, including Easy Read or Makaton?
